Agent of Change
The goals of this four week project are 1) Get the students to actually read a book cover to cover; 2) Show students how to interact with a book and then share the experience with others; 3) Allow the students to use technology as a tool to collaborate and make text-to-world connections; 4) Provider a forum for students to discuss their connections with the book with their peers, adults, and even administrators; and 5) Encourage the reader to take their new knowledge and inspiration to create a school-wide project. Most importantly, students see that a book can cause a person to act and become an “Agent of Change”.

This is a presentation to outline the project. It includes the elements of PBL; essential questions and objectives for the unit; information about the books used and the procedures for daily individual and group work. The last slides include my thoughts about the project.



This is the survey (entry event) that I used as one tool to match students with their book.
